I Always Hear Apple Cider Vinegar Helps Digestion. Is it True?

While studies suggest vinegar has potential cholesterol-lowering effects, there aren’t human trials to support this finding

Apple cider vinegar has a long history of folk medicine use and continues to enjoy popularity today as a natural remedy for indigestion and heartburn, and other conditions. Despite that, it hasn't been well studied, and the majority of apple cider vinegar research is in mice and rats. While these animal studies suggest potential cholesterol-lowering effects, there aren't human trials to support this finding. The few studies on vinegar's blood sugar effects are mixed and add up to weak support for any specific benefits.

Consider the big picture

Vinegar is created through fermentation, and since certain fermented foods, such as kim-chi, are thought to bestow some health benefits to the gut, perhaps some of that reputation has rubbed off on apple cider vinegar as well. However, given the lack of evidence, before you take apple cider vinegar, consider your particular health concerns and make an informed decision.

Avoid the burn. Apple cider vinegar tablets may burn the esophagus, and one study found quality and amount of active ingredients in these supplements vary widely.

Protect your teeth. Apple cider vinegar is acidic, and may weaken tooth enamel. If you take vinegar, rinse well with water after. Some dental experts also suggest waiting 30 minutes before brushing; the combination of the acid with brushing may further worsen enamel erosion.

Use topically with caution. Some people have reported "chemical burns" after applying apple cider vinegar to the skin.

Avoid mixing with meds. Do not take apple cider vinegar with medications or dietary supplements. Medication interactions with vinegar are documented, and vinegar may alter how your body absorbs and processes vitamins and minerals.

Ponder potassium. Apple cider vinegar may lower potassium levels, and if you take diuretics or other heart medications, this effect could cause serious harm to health.

Finally, for those with type 1 diabetes, apple cider vinegar may do more harm than good. One trial found that for those with type 1 diabetes and delayed stomach emptying (diabetic gastroparesis), taking 30 ml of apple cider vinegar in water appeared to reduce stomach emptying rate further. This could worsen blood sugar control and increase complications associated with gastroparesis.

I've been taking this for over a month now and absolutely love it. I feel better inside and out. I'm monitoring my body fat levels and they are slowly dropping along with proper foods and exercise. Before starting this, I was at a plateau with weight and body fat.

I had a very bad case of acid reflux and they were wanting to operate on me. A Dr. Friend of mine told me to try apple cider vinegar and I could not stand the taste. So I tried this product and it worked the very first night. I have since turned many of my friends onto it. It stopped my acid reflux and all my friends say it works for them. I have been using this product for about a year and I am very thankful for the results. I take two pill in the morning and I am good when I lay down at night.
